Contact

Ben is a cinematographer and photographer based in Brooklyn, NY. He has lensed narrative shorts, documentary shorts, and commercial and branded content, and is always looking for new projects and people to work with. In addition to shooting, Ben works in the Grip & Electric departments on commercials and feature films.

He graduated NYU Tisch School of the Arts in 2015 with a BFA in Film & Television Production. There, he was a finalist at the 2015 Volker Bahnemann Awards for Cinematography, an award sponsored by ARRI Inc. that celebrates excellence in cinematography. 

I’m filmmaker with an eye for action and a love for storytelling. Of late, a lot of these stories have involved aircrafts, submarines, and fair bit of autonomy software.

I lead the photo & video department at Anduril. I joined in 2022 as the first video hire and now lead a team of brilliant creatives. We’re doing some cool stuff over there, please do take a look.

In the past, I have lensed narrative shorts, documentary shorts, and commercials. Some of my collaborations with directors have been featured in the AICP Awards, Short of the Week, NFFTY Festival, and NY Shorts Fest. 

Please don’t hesitate to drop a line.
